Today, my husband got a message from a sister of his old friend. Her husband died early, they got married 4 years ago. His husband according to my father-in-law was a hardworking man. He did a lot of things to lift their life, he had two jobs. It worked! His family life went better but last month he had a viral infection that suppressed his respiratory and died. The widow drastically lost everything for the expenses of his burial and funeral. They were not prepared of this saddening event, so the widow starts to find a job so she can support her two kids whose in grade school.
We tend not to secure ourselves from any health issues but have worked harder for our daily needs. We are a rich and poor man.

No, to be rich is to be rich and to be poor is to be poor and the reason we tend to miscalculate our being human of being healthy if you want to be rich then don't forget yourself stay healthy and happy. You may rich in material things for now but you are poor inside you don't knew yourself. The wealth of yours are weak and can't stand trial.

That's why I titled it "Rich Man Poor Man" because some people worked harder and harder but have forgotten to secure themselves from getting sick or worst from dying. This happens when only one in the family solely takes the responsibility while others enjoy the benefits.

What is to happen in life none of us truly know,all we can do is prepare the best we can,staying healthy and working hard for security is the most important two things in life.

Absolutely.
We work hard for our everyday needs and often times forgot about our health.
We don't even save more for the future- rather spend more than we can afford.
Too bad- hope everyone may learn to save more for the future in cases of emergency.

Health is wealth. Do not chase after wealth and sacrifice our health.
Nowadays many people got sick at an early age compared to the older generation.
So, we must take good care of our health so that we can spend quality time
with love ones. Live happily and moderately in everything.

There are really a lot of instances wherein people strive so hard just to somehow lift themselves from poverty that they tend to forget about their health. I know one old person who have pretty decent life now but is suffering from a disease that currently threatens his life.

Yeah right, so if you want your family to live better tell each of the members how and what are the things to do so everyone of you could reach their dreams. This would be easier than solely taking all the responsibility and would avoid getting sick after you have had everything.

living in this world is temporary so we should not get too attached in the things that is seen.
2 Corinthians 4:18 "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
and we should care our selves and we should always pray for our protection and good health.
